I live in Denver. I'm sure I would miss our sales if I lived somewhere that didn't have them. However, I've been to the western slope and think you have some gorgeous country there. Hopefully, that might make up for the lack of sales. I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.

Not Many antique stores here (western CO) we live few miles west of Gran Junction. Have never had antique show here either. Helena,MT had several craft and antique shows every year. When do find things here the prices are atrocious.<br />As lady before me said am drooling over all your finds. Even thrift stores here are expensive.<br />Glad for you to have such good luck.

I've never seen anything like the linen head! I kept scrolling up and down with one of those scrunched up faces that say what in the world is that? It looks strange. Like a an alien head. ha ha. Then I finally read what it is. With the hat on it it's adorable. You will have so much fun with that. I want one now. I could pin buttons on it and make funny faces and do some elegant hauntingly beautiful Halloween decor with it. <br /><br />The dishes really got me. Those are wonderful, especially the Limoge platter! The gravy boats are awesome too! I have an odd fascination with gravy boats. I think it stems from childhood. There's an eloquence of pouring gravy from the lips of a dish specifically meant to serve gravy rather than using a ladle. Like I said, it's an odd fascination. I have only one Ironstone gravy boat that was a lucky duck find for me. This sort of stuff is extremely hard to come by in garage or estate sales here in Alaska. I treasure it very much and use it whenever an opportunity arises. <br /><br />The little tin with the French little people or maybe they are Victorian is adorable. My mother would love that.<br /><br />I'm certain you will share this with Thursday Favorite Things so I will thank you in advance for joining us. I came here from email so I will just cover that base right now since I don't often get to look through every single link. <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful Sunday. I enjoyed seeing all of the pretty collectibles you found. <br /><br />oxo<br />OliviaOlivia- Reinvented Collectionhttp://www.reinventedcollection.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700324863982616242.post-68071216015601296922016-11-05T20:55:23.683-06:002016-11-05T20:55:23.683-06:00Pat, I would love to go shopping with you!
